All The Women Have a Boom on Them



Manhunter Will Graham figures it out.



...but He doesn't 
TAKE anything.

There's no souvenirs 
taken from The Houses.

He needs souvenirs or 
trophies to re-live The Event.

Maybe he records it somehow...
so he could see himself accepted
over, and over, and over again.

VTRs, Polaroids, stills, what?

How do I know?

How does he find 'em?
When we find out how 
he found them,
we'll find him.

There is no connection
between the two families.

We've done a dozen computer runs.

Jack, all The Women
have A Bloom on them.

He didn't win them in A Lottery,
he picked these women.

There's selection and design
in his choices.

Look, admit we struck out
this month.

The Lear Jet is standing by,
the basic lab stuff is on it.

You, Zeller, Jimmy Price,
the photographer,

anywhere he hits, we can be there
in an hour and 15 minutes.

We get the call, we roll.

The scene will be fresh,
fresher than we've ever had it.

It's not over yet.

Oh, for Christ's sake!

It's a foregone conclusion.

It's 11:30 p.m., the full moon
is happening tonight.

Give it up! Forget this month,
it's too damn late!

I gave it up.
Till you showed up with pictures
of two dead families,
knowing goddamn-well
that I'd imagine families
three, four, five, and six, right?

You're f'cking right I did,
and I'd do it again!

Great! But don't talk to me
about late, pal.

I'll tell you
when it's too f*cking late!

Until then, we go as late
as I want to take it!

A padlock.
That's why the bolt cutter.

What's that?

He used a bolt cutter
to trim away the branch
when he was watching
from the woods.

Why didn't he use the bolt cutter
on the garage door?

Because a deadbolt was there
when they were killed.

Donald Jacobi's 
12th birthday party
was April 14.

Sometime between
April 14 and August 1
they changed the lock.

But he thought
there was a padlock there.

From the street,
you can't see |the glass
in The Leeds' kitchen door.

There's a big
high fence there.
But he was ready
with his glass-cutter.

So either he was 
casing far ahead
and we didn't check 
back  far enough,
or...

We checked.

Don't Talk.

Metcalfe, it's Graham --
Is the Leeds and Jacobi stuff
still in the storeroom?

Have The Guard down there call me.
Do it.

You know that's The Jacobis' cat.
You brought a bolt-cutter 'cause
you thought there was a padlock.

The Leeds' dog
doesn't have a collar,
but you know it's 
The Leeds' dog,
don't you, My Man?

See The Woman?
The Bloom on The Woman?

You can see her again and again
anytime you want.

Doggie doesn't have a collar,
but you know it's The Leeds' dog.

And The Jacobi cat.

And the padlock on the door;
And you know you need a bolt cutter
and every other g*dd*mn thing
because everything with you
is seeing, isn't it?

Your primary sensory intake
that makes your dream live
is seeing -- Reflections
mirrors, images...

You've seen these films --
Haven't you, my man?

It's The Guard 
in the storeroom.

The cans.


What cans?

The tapes were transferred
from Home Movies.

Where's the packaging
the films came in?

There's films of the families
in the document storage. Find them.

You got 'em?

Are there any labels?

Leeds can, Gateway Lab,
St. Louis, Missouri.

The Jacobi label 
will say the same thing as 
The Leeds label :
Gateway Lab,
St. Louis, Missouri.

Who processed The Jacobi film?

No. Bob's Photo Store, Birmingham.

Stores send them out.
Have him peel the top label back.

Is there a label underneath?

It does, doesn't it?

No-one has been able to counter this guy in an intelligent way.

Trump jokes David Lynch's career 'is over' as he quotes Guardian interview





" -- so, here's A Story 
that just came out --
David Lynch, you know 
the great filmmaker ...

David Lynch, he 
puts down -- Headline :
"Trump could go down ...

This is a Hollywood guy, The Reason 
I do this is, you know, You don't HEAR this ...
....and plenty of them voted for Me --
Plenty of them voted for Me.

David Lynch (sic) "could go down
as one of the greatest presidents in History."
Of course, there goes his career, right? 
In Holly ...

"Veteran filmmaker, David Lynch, believes
President Donald Trump could be remembered
as one of The Greatest Presidents in American History 
because of the way he has shaken up the political establishment --"
and because of what I've done.

However, he now appears to believe –
-- because he was a Democrat, or is a Democrat
or something -- He actually voted for Obama. Ha ha.

And here it says: 'He voted 
for Bernie Sanders,' OK?
But he now ...

It says: "However, he now appears to believe
that Trump may have been the right choice after all."

He goes on to say that Trump "could go down
as one of The Greatest Presidents in History
because he has disrupted this thing so much.

No-one has been able to counter this guy
in an intelligent way."

And Rassilon Journeyed into The Black Void with a Great Fleet.


Nothing
EVER
Happens

constantly….






And Rassilon journeyed into 
The Black Void 
with a great fleet. 




Her Name was Tecteun….



[Records room]

ENGIN: What about his character? 


Tom: Bad


ENGIN: Oh, Doctor, could you please be a little more specific? 


Tom: Yes. He was evil, cunning and resourceful. Highly developed powers of ESP and a formidable hypnotist. And the more I think about it, the less likely it seems. 


ENGIN: What? 


Tom: Well, that The Master would meekly accept the end of his regeneration cycle. It's not his style at all. 


ENGIN: But that's something we must all accept, Doctor. 


(Engin hands the Doctor a drink.) 


Tom: Thank you. Not The Master. 

No, he had some sort of plan —

That's why he came here, Engin. 


ENGIN: After the twelfth regeneration, 

there is no plan that will postpone death. 


Tom: He had a plan. Something to do 

with Goth becoming The President. 


What's so special about 

The President, Engin? 


ENGIN: Nothing

He's simply an elected Time Lord, 

usually from some senior position. 


He holds The Symbols of Office

but otherwise he's no different 

from any other Time Lord. 


Tom: 

Symbols…..


ENGIN: Yes. 

Relics from 

The Old Time. 


The Sash of Rassilon; 

The Great Key.


Tom: 

Tell me about Rassilon —


ENGIN: 

Well, it's all in The Book 

of The Old Time — 

But there's a modern transgram 

that's much less difficult….


Tom: 

could WE hear that….? 


ENGIN:

 ……you mean, now? 


Tom: Oh! 


ENGIN: What is it? 


Tom: Engin

I can feel my HAIR, curling…..

and that means, either 

it's going to rain — 

……or else, I'm on

to Something —


[Records room]

ENGIN: And today we tend to think of Rassilon as the founder of our modern civilisation. But in his own time he was regarded mainly as an engineer and an architect. And, of course, it was long before we turned aside from the barren road of technology. 


Tom : 

Yes, that's all very interesting

could We hear The TransGram? 


ENGIN: 

Early history is something of a pet subject. 


The Book of The Old Time 

And Rassilon journeyed into 

The Black Void with a great fleet. 

Within The Void, no light 

would shine and nothing of that 

outer nature continue in being, except that which existed within The Sash of Rassilon. 


Tom : 

…..must be 

A Black-Hole —


ENGIN: What? 


Tom : Shush. 




The Book of The Old Time

Now Rassilon found 

The Eye of Harmony, 

which balances all things, 

that they may neither flux, 

nor wither, nor change their 

state in any measure;


And he caused The Eye 

to be brought to the world 

of Gallifrey, wherein he sealed 

this beneficence with 

The Great Key;


Tom: 

What's The Great Key? 


The Book of The Old Time :

Then, the people rejoiced  —


(Engin turns off the playback.) 


ENGIN: It's an ebonite rod carried by The President on ceremonial occasions. But it's actual function, if it ever had one, is a complete mystery. 


Tom : Where's it kept? 


ENGIN: In the Panopticon. There's a display case of relics. 


Tom : And The Sash of Rassilon, where's that? 


ENGIN: Oh, that's held by the President. That stays in his possession. 


Tom : Of course. What a stupendous egotist.


ENGIN: Who? 


Tom : The Master. He'd have destroyed Gallifrey, the Time Lords, everything, just for the sake of his own survival. 


(Spandrell enters and hands 

the hypodermic to the Doctor.) 


SPANDRELL: It seems that The Master didn't die from natural causes. 


Tom : What? 


SPANDRELL: He killed himself. 

Careful, it's poison. 


Tom : Tricophenyladehyde. 


SPANDRELL: Deadly, no doubt. 


Tom : 

No. It's a neural inhibitor.

Spandrell, we've been fooled. 


SPANDRELL: What? 


Tom: 

The Master, he's still alive. 


SPANDRELL: 

I've just sent Hildred to staser him —

Human, remains.






Buffy & Tara talk about death (The Body 5x16) - Buffy the Vampire Slayer



Shot of Buffy and Tara sitting on the sofa next to each other. They look at each other, then away.

BUFFY: (softly, speaking to the floor) I'm sorry ... you have to go through all of this.

TARA: You don't have to worry about me.

BUFFY: Everybody wants to help. (Tara looks at her) I don't even know if I'm ... here. (Tara looks away) I don't know what's going on. Never done this. (pauses) That's just an amazingly dumb thing to say. Obviously ... I've never done this before.

Beat.

TARA: (softly) I have.

Buffy looks over at her.

TARA: My mother died when I was seventeen.

BUFFY: I didn't know. I'm sorry.

TARA: No, no, I didn't mean to ... (sighs) I'm only telling you this because ... I know it's not m-my place, but ... (pauses) There's things ... thoughts and reactions I had that ... I couldn't ... understand ... or even try to explain to anyone else. (Buffy looks down, pensive) Thoughts that ... made me feel like I was losing it ... or, like I was some kind of ho-horrible person. I know it's different for you ... because it's always different, but ... if you ever need...

She trails off. They sit there looking at each other. Then they both look down at the floor.

Buffy looks back up at Tara.

BUFFY: Was it sudden?

TARA: What?

BUFFY: Your mother.

TARA: No. (thinks
Yes. (pauses

It's always sudden.

Showy Gypsy Stuff



RILEY
But he's not just a regular vampire. 
I mean, he has special powers, right?
SPIKE:  (hand-waving)
Nothing but showy gypsy stuff.

AllSpuffyScenes 6x10 Buffy & Spike - The Morning After



Surfacey Physical Stuff









BUFFY VOICEOVER: 
Are you sure

Cut to Buffy's house, living room. Buffy sits on the coffee-table facing Tara, who sits on the sofa. 

TARA: 
I-I've double 
checked everything
(smiling) There's 
nothing wrong with You.

BUFFY: 
Then why can 
Spike hurt Me?

TARA
Well, I said that there was 
nothing wrong with you, 
but ... You ARE different. 

Shifting you out of ... 
f-f-from where you were ... 
funneling your essence 
back into your body ... 
i-it, it altered You on 
a basic molecular level. 

Probably just enough to 
confuse the sensors or 
whatever in Spike's chip. 

But it's all just
surfacey physical stuff. 
It wouldn't have any more 
effect than ... a bad sunburn

Buffy looks close to tears 
as she contemplates this. 

BUFFY: 
I didn't come 
back Wrong?

TARA
No, You're the same Buffy. 
(lightly) With a deep 
tropical cellular tan.

BUFFY
You must have 
missed something. 
Will you check again?

TARA: (concerned
Buffy, I-I promisethere's 
nothing wrong with you.

BUFFY: 
There has to be! 

This just can't be Me
it isn't Me. (starting to cry

Why do I feel like this? 
Why did I let Spike do 
all those things to Me?

TARA
You mean hit you. 

Buffy meets Tara's eyes, 
but only for a moment, then 
looks away. Tara frowns 
as she begins to get it. 

TARA: Oh

Longer shot of the two of them. 
Tara rubs her knees nervously

TARA: 
Oh, huh. Really.

BUFFY: 
He's everything I hate
He's everything that ... 

I'm supposed to be against
But the only time that 
I ever feel anything is when ... 

Don't tell anyone, please.

TARA: I won't.

BUFFY: (crying
The way they 
would Look at Me ...
I just couldn't...

TARA: 
I won't tell anyone
I wouldn't do that.

BUFFY: (whispers
Why can't I stop
Why do I keep letting him in?

TARA: (concerned
Do you love him? 

Buffy just stares at her tearfully. 

TARA: I-It's okay if you do. 
He's done a lot of good, and, 

And he does love you. A-and 
Buffy, it's okay if you don't

You're going through 
a really hard time, 
and you're...

BUFFY: (still tearful
What? Using him? 
What's okay about that?

TARA
It's not that simple.

BUFFY: It is! It's Wrong
I'm Wrong. Tell me that 
I'm Wrong, please... 

Buffy starts to cry for real now. 

BUFFY: 
Please don't forgive me, please... (sobbing
Please don't... 

She slides off the table onto the floor, 
kneeling, putting her head in Tara's lap. 
Tara looks uncertain, puts her hands 
comfortingly on Buffy's head. 

BUFFY: (sobbing, muffled
Please don't Forgive Me... 

Tara strokes her hair gently 
as she continues crying.

Blackout.

Executive Producers: Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon.

Pauline



Backspin: Steve Jones on 'Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols'


".....what I gather about 
The Song Bodies is, 
was this girl, Pauline
who was a nut-job 
certified wacko, who 
brought, uh -- to one 
of our showsbrought 
her abortion in a bag -- 
charming...! And, uh -- I guess 
John knew her a little bit.... 

— I f**ked her -- in around, 
the back of The Marquee 
in Wardor Street  -- 
-- she was… she was 
actually very hot -- 
-- but, obviously not ... 
not quite all there -- 
you know…? 

I'm glad I found out 
The Story afterwards …..
about The Abortion but 
it was, uh -- interesting ....

It's a great song, I think 
-- The Real uh, Thing.”
